let's start with jerry sandusky. the judge, again, granted him bail. is this typical in a case like this that you would have a second wave of allegations and as a prosecutor, would you try to keep him behind bars? >> well, absolutely. i mean i don't think a lot of people are shocked. this is what happens, john in a lot of the high-profile, big pedophile cases. victims initially don't come forward until they hear other victims come forward. i'm sure prosecutors thinking and asking for $1 million bond, it would be tantamount to no bond because it's so high they want this person behind bars because, i bet you there's more to come. these type of allegations could stretch out for a very long time and as more victims hear other people aren't afraid to come forward, they might come forward. don't be surprised if new allegations surface within the next couple of weeks. >> stacey, shifting to the burny fine case, the d.a. says statute of limitations expired but the charges are credible. do the feds have greater flexibility? >> yeah. lots times that does happen.

what did jerry sandusky and the defense gain by waiving this preliminary hearing? and did they lose anything. >> they certainly gained by losing. i mean they gained by not having detailed testimony about horrible acts broadcast around the world. i mean, this was an attempt to limit the damage to the potential jury pool. i think in that respect, it was a smart move. he lost by not being able to cross-examine, to learn about the possible chinks in the credibility of some of the witnesses but by and large, it was a smart move. it also gives him, i think, additional flex ability for flee bargaining. the community is not as outraged as it might be having heard the details of what these witnesses say hand to them. so in bal hance ance it was a s move but let's be clear, he's still in a world of trouble. >> and obviously sometimes what they say at this stage, it's not what happens at the end but do you take them at their word that they want to fight vigorously or do you think that they avoided public testimony to help them negotiate a better plea deal? >> i think they are
